    CB slang is horrible

    When you guys talk on the radio do you use "CB slang"? You know...BUMP BUMP, I gust got down, no doubt about it, etc. etc.? What if you walked into McDonalds and placed your order like this... "Hey Timmy, Hey Timmy... I need a Big Mac BUMP BUMP! And a large fries....NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! And...

    got an ole cobra 139 base.

    I agree with Robb. I have one of these in very good condition. It never even had the clarifier done until last week while I was having it aligned. It's no 2000GTL but it isn't far behind in the running. IMHO: Keep it and use it!

    Your first CB? what year started? any other radio interest?

    Great thread...even though its an old one! First CB I ever got to experience was some kind of Cobra 40 ch. base my dad had got from a friend. I dont think the antenna was ever tuned but I did a lot of listening. First radio I owned was some basic midland 40ch. with the up/down buttons on the...

    new to cb, clueless

    What Robb said. I'm guessing its a SWR issue. When you key up the radio does the antenna (ANT.) light turn red?

    Listen and watch from Northern Illinois ~ LIVE!

    Yeah, it runs for about 45 minutes then the sound cuts off...followed by the video going black. Don't know why it does this.

    New 29 LTD

    If it were me, I would just do an alignment and turn the modulation up a bit. That way if you ever sold it the next guy would appreciate having a nice all original virgin radio. Just my $0.02

    I inherited some cb stuff

    What is it the radio does not do? Totally dead? No TX?

    I inherited some cb stuff

    To answer your question... Yes, the 148 is worth fixing depending on how much the costs are to repair it. These were one of the best CB radios ever made.

    Any of you out there receiving the "digital lullaby" on channel 17? I think someone near me is doing it. It stays keyed down for hours. Just wondering how for its reaching out.

    Best base antenna for under 100 dolls

    Your best bet is probably an Antron99. You might get lucky and find a used one for well under $100. You might even find a Imax2000 too.

    Teaberry Stalker Two (40 ch am/ssb)

    Is there any documentation out there on this radio? Schematic? Alignment? If so, I'm not finding it. I picked it up on the cheap a few weeks back. I'm having second thoughts about if it will ever work again. Side panel screw threads are stripped from someone being in-n-out of this thing. There...

    NEED HELP w/ Emperor

    I have a TS5010 and I made the same mistake of hooking it up backwards. It blew my diode inside. I'm willing to bet this $0.25 in my pocket that's whats wrong with your friends radio. It'll be the diode closest to where the power source enters the board. It will probably be visibly burnt.
